Bitsy

Bitsy is a small terrier mix girl, maybe part jack russell? A very cute girl! She was taken from a neglectful situation down in Southern Illinois where she wasn't getting her basic needs met. She carries herself around on short legs, about 15 pounds, and is estimated to be about 5 or 6 years old. We cleaned her up and you should see how happy she is now in her new foster home!

Little Bitsy is a friendly little girl and likes to roll on her back for belly rubs. She is a typical terrier with fairly high energy. She loves her squeaky toys and to play ball and would love a yard to sun herself in and play fetch with you. Bitsy loves to go for long walks and heels on the leash. She needs a family that will give her plenty of exercise, but she also settles down nicely and likes to watch TV with you. She's well behaved in the home, housebroken, and lived at a four-week extensive training program to learn all of her commands including sit, down, stay, leave it, off, heel, and watch me.

Bitsy's foster family has children with lots of people coming and going daily. Bitsy is good with children but she would not be good with small animals such as birds or lizards. She needs a family that will be committed to reinforcing and furthering her training. If you're looking for a pint-sized new family member that will be forever grateful to be part of a loving family, Bitsy is waiting for you! You couldn't find a more deserving dog!

 

Meet Beauty!

Beauty is gorgeous 3 year old female. Beauty is so regal, and everyone that has seen her says that she is very elegant. She is a classic tabby with beautiful markings and has a very soft coat. She is quiet, reserved, and a bit on the shy side at first. Once she gets to know you, she's fine. She is a very caring kitty that will show love to her human once she feels comfortable with them. Beauty will do best in an adult household, no young children. She needs a patient, quiet owner who will give her lots of love. She really responds when given attention by her foster mom. She is a lovely kitty that deserves a great home. Won't you please consider inviting her in?

... Creating Families,
            4 Paws At A Time

Every day innocent pets are left homeless and abandoned in Chicagoland. Adopt-A-Pet has found loving homes for over 14,000 of those cats and dogs.

If you are looking for a family pet, consider adopting a wonderful pet from Adopt-A-Pet. Most of our cats and dogs are kept in foster homes, where they live as part of a family. Not only is this beneficial for the animal, but it also helps us create a purrfect match between an animal and a prospective adopter.

Well ... Spring has sprung and it's "kitten season" again and the incessant phone calls are rolling in: There's a mother cat with 5 kittens in my back yard, under my deck, on my porch, in my shed, down my window well, inside the wood pile -- take your pick. The frustrating part of this is that SO MANY of these litters could have been prevented. And the sad part is that MOST of these kittens won't find permanent homes. So, if you encounter a stray cat in your neighborhood -- WHAT DO YOU DO????
